There was discussion on pdf generation last night. I unfortunately missed the point of Steve Holdaway's question about generating pdf's, [1] but it had to do with documentation generation IIRC. Forgive me if the pointer below is irrelevant to the question...
I have had a bit of a play with reportlab http://www.reportlab.org/ which is open source, although there is also a http://www.reportlab.com/ with more sophisticated, but unfree tools. Anyway reportlab allows you to generate pdf's using python, and may have some functionality that Steve desires. The reason I was playing with it was that it allows fiddling with FDF [2] data, which is data used to fill in PDF forms. (You may be familiar with PDF forms that you can type in, but cannot save unless you have the full Adobe Acrobat, an example here: http://www.ird.govt.nz/library/publications/geninfo/ir183.pdf ) The ability to save such data in a database and amend it, or create a template of responses, is quite a bonus. HTH [1] because I was fiddling installing ubuntu, nothing to do with the way Steve expressed the question :-) [2] FDF=Forms Data Format IIRC -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
